LITEF, a leading supplier of high-precision navigation systems, is presenting ground-breaking technologies for the stabilisation and navigation of guided missiles at the Paris Air Show 2025. With over 60 years of experience in the development of inertial sensors for military applications, LITEF has once again developed solutions that revolutionise the precision and efficiency of modern missile systems.
FOG-IMUs
FOG-based inertial measuring unit
Long life cycle without periodic maintenance
FOG IMUS units comprise three gyro axes for rotational measurement, three accelerometer axes for the measurement of linear acceleration, a processor card, a power unit and a housing with connectors and other mechanical components. Other configurations are possible and can be developed easily on the basis of the modular inertial sensor concept.
The advantage of FOG technology is that individual requirements can be satisfied easily and quickly.
- Missile guidance
- Vehicle guidance
- Stabilisation of platforms
Solutions for systems with stringent requirements – such as navigation and attitude-heading reference systems – are achieved through the integration of navigation software and the connection of GPS to the IMU.
Free of moving parts, FOG IMUs are resistant to shock and to high levels of vibration. They are extremely reliable and have a long service life without periodic maintenance which reduces life cycle costs.
